It looks from this limited photo that she has a great body and an ok, but far from great face.

Is she hot? Hell yes, because she is a 20 year old college girl with a great 20 year old college girl's body and I am in my mid thirties. Put her in a bikini and post that pic, and none of you saying that she is just ok would notice her face.

One exception: if you go are a guy currently attending an SEC school, you are free to say that she is just ok because by current SEC campus standards, this girl is just slightly above the average girl. At Ole Miss, she is what you call the ugly friend of the hot girl.

sisters to service the fine lads of Sigma Nu. She is exhorting them to engage in a greek/roman orgy in the finest tradition of western learning.

Assuming she were bobbing on your knob,riding your pony cowgirl style, or enjoying a little fido lovin' the beauty of her face seems like a secondary consideration. Are you going to wed this girl? Perhaps, but only if you live in Tora Bora and use a dial-up internet connection.

That is, no doubt, a hilarious email. However, as someone who was in charge of fraternity functions when I was on college, I probably wrote a letter not too dissimilar from that once a month or so, minus some of the name calling, funny as they were.

I remember a few times where the guys in our house kep begging to do more events with sororities, and then when I'd plan them they'd either not come or (more likely) show up and only talk to each other and then be pissed when that sorority wouldn't want to hang out with us the next time.

Yeah, I know I won't get a ton of sympathy around here, but I feel her pain.

To be fair, not really the swearing, and only most of the insults and threats of assault.

My wife and I were talking about this email the other day, and we came to the conclusion that this girl is probably really funny in real life. You don't use some of those phrases unless you're trying to be a little tongue in cheek while also being pissed. She was elected to her position by her sisters, after all, so it stands to reason she's relatively well liked. I'm not saying she's not a total bitch too, but I bet she's a funny bitch.

But she's going to get some talking to, and it's going to center around that stuff. Also, I definitely agree with your take above; I've seen plenty of emails like this in my inbox or heard this stuff verbally, just not in this ridiculously over the top fashion (which is why I say that's what makes it funny).

I also liked how she wrote that entire email, probably while angry, and didn't have a single spelling or grammar error (at least that I caught). Half of this board can't manage that on a two sentence post.

This needs to be posted every time someone hits a nerve and triggers a brah backlash of "blah blah stop stereotyping the Greek system blah blah" (as it did in many of the GA threads) because honestly sometimes you need to able to laugh at yourself.

Oh, I was Greek and I can totally laugh at this. Saying "this chick is a total bitch" is just fine, and probably warranted. Saying "all sorority girls are bitches because of this girl" is the type of stuff many of us get pissed about.

Sure, but you gotta admit some of the flaws are inherent in the system when anybody, bitch or not, can get that worked up about people being quiet and awkward at forced-pairing social events, and then be defended (sort of) by numerous others who apparently suffered through similar indignities as Greek officers.

Don't worry, this is not intended as an insult - despite not being in a frat I've been in my shares of organized and unorganized insular groups (like say MGoBlog) with their own idiosyncrasies that they (or a vocal subset of "they") often take WAY too seriously.

I think the life lesson here is to occasionally sit back and consider what you look like to someone on the outside looking in, and be able to laugh at what you see.

but just think about those GA threads you referenced. Does anybody actually think that empty rows in the student section damages M's reputation nationwide? Does anybody actually think that thousands of students will leave the Nebraska game and line up for OSU three weeks later?

I don't think this is a Greek thing, I think it's a "some people get way too worked up about stuff" thing. (For the record, I'm Greek and haven't seen or suffered any indignities relating to lack of socialization at events. Saying "go to intermural events and cheer" or "talk to people other than brothers at a mixer" is hardly an indignity, it's a normal part of being part of any organization.)

Indignity was an attempt at humorous hyperbole directed at the "I know where she's coming from". Sorry if it didn't come off as intended.

In regards to the GA issue, I think an honest assessment would acknowledge the following: many of the biggest, rowdiest pregame parties take place at Greek houses, many of the biggest, rowdiest seating groups have been Greek groups, and a disproportionate (though not exclusive) number of young ladies stumbling in after the first quarter and spending the whole game on the phone have a portion of the Greek alphabet pasted on the ass of their yoga pants.

So with that in mind, I think it would be good of the Greek community, which nominally supports spirit, solidarity, etc., to take the lead on a "get to the game on time" effort (and hopefully not a "pledges get to the game on time to save the seniors seats). Heck, just having a majority of the Greek community in the stands to cheer on the band for pregame would be a major improvement in game day atmosphere.

Perhaps such an effort has been made, but if so it hasn't been visible outside the Greek community.

although maybe I was bad at getting that across. I really do think the sentiment is normal, though, and have heard talks or read emails with those themes from being a part of athletic teams, student government, my fraternity and will probably hear something similar in later stages of life.

My only point with the GA threads is that we see people investing a lot of emotion in a ticket policy, just like we see this girl investing a lot of emotion in the social perception of her sorority. People get emotionally invested in things they care about, even if it ends up looking ridiculous in hindsight or from the outside.

Well, it's a social organization, and typically these are events that people ask to be planned, and then don't appreciate. I'm sure it's frustrating for her when her sisters tell her to plan events with fraternities, but then they don't take advantage of those events.

Once it is out there, you can't get it back. Between email, facebook, twitter, youtube, and other media, the current generation of students is building an electronic resume that will follow them for years. I actually want to forward this to a couple kids I know as a word of warning.

As an aside, people can talk however they want. It's a free country, after all. However, somehow, I wish the tone of discourse in society hadn't become so coarse. This langauge is everywhere now, and comes out of the mouths of so many. I wonder if it is at a point where professors lecture like this now. The current mayor of Chicago, Rahm Immanuel, is legendary for his coarse mouth. There are 3 and 4 year old kids at school who don't get why there's a problem with them talking just like mom and dad do at home.

that we didn't have email back when I was in a sorority. We had to do rants like this face to face. And while it did lead to a lot of tears (especially in Greek Week, when you weren't trying enough, perky enough, etc..) we don't have long term evidence.

* That e-mail is written pretty well when you consider the average verbal skills of today's college students.

* It's a glimpse of how most of our society works (forced interactions with a sale of some sort constantly behind the scenes). Sure, you could extrapolate to all humanity, but I think it's quintessentially USA.

* She'll make a fine drug rep someday. I'm serious -- I'd bet big $ that she'll be a sales champion (and, in time, a complete b*tch of a sales director).

The email itself is a caricature of typical interactions within a dysfunctional group. But the greater implication is that she is a completely ineffective leader. Why has she resorted to damage control? Has she lost touch with her sisters? Do her events suck? Is this email exemplary of a typical interaction with her?

I don't think this email is evil... pretty funny in fact... but it is a textbook example of ineffective communication from an ineffective person, who has achieved their position through self-serving behavior. OK a bit of an inductive leap with that last one, but I'm willing to bet on it... the pattern is common and pretty obvious

For some reason, I thought of Ted L. Nancy's (well, really a guy named Barry Marder) "Letters From A Nut" series the whole time I was reading this e-mail. It's a little less subtle than the letters in those books, but it is basically as funny...actually, a bit moreso in some ways.

Also, in skimming through responses to the e-mail, it appears Alison Haislip (of "Attack Of The Show!" and "The Voice") did her own version, and it was fairly close to how I imagined this being read by the author (of course, link only as NSFW).

Reading her tweets and this email, this girl seems to have some serious issues with her anger and needs help. This isn't ANGAR like we like our RBs to have, but real anger that has the potential to hurt people. I hope she gets herself together and grows up soon. Those tweets are a mess.
